Re:	El Centro de Los Trabajadores Agricolas  Fronterizos
Comments:	The Centro de Los Trabajadores Agricolas Fronterizos is a facility located in the Segundo Barrio neighborhood near the Border Highway across El Paso’s sister city Ciudad Juarez. This facility is her for a few purposes one, to support border agricultural workers and their families and to support the low income community of El Paso. There are various opportunities the facility offers like English classes, arts and recreation for children and adults including a modest clinic and a cafeteria. This group is part of a non-organization project called sin fronteras to once again help the farmworkers solve many problems in which they encountered. The people who are responsible for running this group are dedicated volunteers in the community who do their best in order to help these families have a better impact on their lives involving communication with other public schools locally and nationally. It’s a 7 day week center for those individuals who need help and someone who can make a difference in their lives. Throughout history people have wanted to come to the United States to seek adventures and more opportunities. Our building reflects off of this historic pastime in the agricultural industry and it has an adobe like structure in the neighborhood. It has various creative features and murals displaying this farming and ranching culture. There is history behind one mural showing how it displays a whole day of work in which a farmer had to go through and experience in an everyday life. This design shows the spirit of the workers and the struggles of the Sin Frontera leaders, too. Another example of why this building is built how it was is due to the fact that back then this is what most villages looked like and the builders wanted to reflect off of this idea combining others together to create a population and a community. It shows a combination of the United States and Mexico whereas a wall guards the roof showing that there isn’t a way to get into the United States. It’s sometimes complicated to know what time of day it is because of the leadership this organization wanted to put in its design. The sun casts off reflections and shadows. As you have been reading this you can see that this center is not only a place for shelter but it is another facility where you can see a lot of opportunities that can benefit a lot of low income families throughout the city. We can turn a negative into a positive with our volunteers here to dedicate their time to you and be a positive influence for you. This is a facility for a need not a want. We can make a huge change for you in whom you can be successful later on down the road; it is a huge impact for the community. You will gain knowledge which will thrive into experience for each family member. The problems can be solved. This facility and this organization is here to help you.
